I'm unclear about the appogiatura question, in Question 4 © F. Why can't the F in bar 26 (which belongs to the 2nd group of semiquavers ie. 2nd beat) be the answer? Any help would be much appreciated.

is this on a past paper or in a textbook? Which paper or book is it? We need more information to be able to help you.

Hi Little Elf, Thanks for the reply! It's the ABRSM 2010 Grade 6 'Theory of Music Exams' book A. My question is:

Thanks so much for taking a look...

I have the relevant quesion in front of me, and the model answers, and I see that the answer is that the upward-resolving appoggiatura is the D (first note of the last semiquaver triplet). All I can suggest is that the F you thought was the appoggiatura could be said to be a harmony note (chord of G7), whereas in the answer they give, the D is not a harmony note, but resolves onto one.

Hope this helps

Thank you so much!!! That was exactly what I needed. I kinda thought it was as you pointed out, but I wasn't entirely sure and makes me feel so much better. Thank you again for taking the time to look it up.

Much appreciated!!

No problems - pleased to help
